Creative to ship cable-free MP3
Singapore's Creative Technology will soon ship a tiny MP3 player that does away with cables when downloading music from a computer. The Nomad MuVo is a thumb-sized device with a detachable storage portion that can be inserted directly into a computer's USB port, allowing for drag-and-drop file transfer. Besides music files, the flash-memory storage can also hold any type of data file. Creative is riding on this to market the product as an all-around portable data-storage gadget. "You can transfer and store music, share digital images and data or back up your files in just seconds -- no need to burn a CD or send files through e-mail," said Craig McHugh, president of U.S. subsidiary Creative Labs.

Competition to iPod... drag & dropping stuff from Windows Explorer to the device sounds good. 128 MB is not much memory, good only for a single hi-bitrate album. Even then the detachable storage section should make real world album swapping easy. You could copy every day a new album to your player and swap the memory cards (or the whole players
) head-to-head with a friend or a colleague.
